New Delhi. The Indian cricket team will take on Afghanistan in their first Super 8 match of the T20 World Cup 2024 on Thursday. India won three matches in a row in the group stage while one match was cancelled, while the Afghanistan team also reached the Super 8 after winning 3 matches. India, led by Rohit Sharma, and Afghanistan, led by Rashid Khan, will clash at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados. Let’s know what is the record of Team India in Barbados.
India has played a total of 2 matches on this ground so far. India played these matches in the 2010 T20 World Cup. India played its first match on 7 May 2010 against Australia. Australia defeated India by 49 runs in this match. Rohit Sharma played an innings of 79 runs in 46 balls in this match. In this match, India was all out for 135 runs. At the same time, India played another match at this ground exactly 2 days later on 9 May against West Indies. Where West Indies defeated India by 14 runs.
That is, India’s record on this ground has not been good. They have lost both of the two matches. Now it will be interesting to see what they do in the match against Afghanistan.
